What do you do when your psychiatrist (Ullett) listens to nothing you say and urges you to admit you're gay even though you aren't; your hypochondriacal mother (Bonar) and spineless father (Lustig) want your therapy to be successful simply so they're not embarrassed to write the holiday newsletter; and you go on a blind date with a pathological liar (Nelson) who inserts herself into your life despite your protests?

What do you do when your psychiatrist (Ullett) listens to nothing you say and urges you to admit you're gay even though you aren't; your hypochondriacal mother (Bonar) and spineless father (Lustig) want your therapy to be successful simply so they're not embarrassed to write the holiday newsletter; and you go on a blind date with a pathological liar (Nelson) who inserts herself into your life despite your protests? If you're Mark (Helberg), clearly the only solution is to end it all. But when Death (Cistaro) comes calling an unexpected obstacle is thrown in the path of his march to meet his maker. Much to Mark's horror, Death tells him he called his parents so they could come over and make him feel better. They arrive and, of course, have the opposite effect. Soon, Mark's living nightmare is taken to a new level when the doctor shows up, followed shortly thereafter by the blind date he can't seem to shake.
What ensues is an impromptu group therapy session lead by the good doctor. His parents, his blind date and even Death participate in an experiment in which they launch a verbal assault on Mark after the doctor convinces them he is a dangerous sociopath. In a last-ditch effort to claw his way out of his warped world, Mark finally becomes the architect of his destiny with an outcome he never saw coming.
